DC HOUSE 1 Gallon Water Distiller Machine, 750W 4L Pure Distilled Water Maker Machine for Home Countertop Table Desktop, Drinking Purifier for Home Kitchen CPAP Hmidifiers with Pastic Container

This is the second water distiller I’ve owned and it’s been working great. I use it heavily—typically distilling around 3 gallons per day—and it’s been reliable and consistent. Solid machine if you need a lot of distilled water regularly. It is a huge money saver from buying from the store. I use for cpap, humidifiers, steam iron, etc.

Works great. We have 4 humidifiers going in our house and needed to stop buying water. It works perfectly. It takes 4 hours to make 4 liters (Just over 1 gallon) It does put off a lot of heat but not a bad thing in the winter. The fan makes noise. You can certainly hear it even with a door close but it's not overly loud. It only has to be cleaned and filter changed every 2 months.

I bought this so I wouldn’t have to buy, lug, and store gallons upon gallons of distilled water in my apartment to run the humidifier I use to keep my guitar from drying out and cracking in thecwinter air. This distiller works like a charm, so 4 stars. 1 star off because I do have a list of complaints: - I have very hard city water. The amount of junk left over in the metal tub after a cycle is shocking. It bakes on (stinks!) and is impossible to wipe off. Better than spewing it all into the air via humidifier though. - The cleaning process is both easier and harder than it looks. It ships with a bottle of citric acid crystals. Go ahead and order yourself a bulk 2 pound bag or two of those things, you’ll need them. Throw 3 or 4 tablespoons of crystals into a fully filled distiller tub, and run a cycle with the top off. The scale will disappear in about 30-40 minutes, no muss no fuss. I like to poke at the scale now and again with a spatula while this is going on, but I’m a neurotic overachiever. It is NOT clear or easy how (or whether?) to clean the top part with the coils and fan. Do these need to be unscrewed, taken apart, cleaned, reassembled? Who knows?? - This thing uses a lot of electricity and puts out a lot of heat. I ran it about 15 times and my power bill jumped $9 for the month (from $50 to $59, so it was noticeable). That could be because winter and price increase, or distiller use. Can’t tell yet. It does release a LOT of heat. I run it in my bathroom and it makes the room into a sauna. Great for winter! Toasty tile floor! That’s not great energy efficiency though. - It’s loud! I run it in the bathroom so I can close the door. If I ran it in my apt kitchen I would not be able to hear anything else, it’s about as loud as the over-stove fan set on low. - If you have long hair and run this thing on the floor, FOR THE LOVE OF CTHULU hold your hair back when you turn this thing on. The fan on top WANTS to grab your hair. You will cry. Over all, this thing does the job and even with my list of complaints and increase in electricity bill, it’s nice having distilled water on demand instead of having to go to the store and put more plastic jugs in the recycle bin where they probably won’t be recycled anyway. And even with that $9 jump in power bill, for at least 15 gallons worth of water it’s half the price of store bought.

Purchased this distiller after years of hauling plastic jugs from the grocery store and I wish we'd done so sooner! I use distilled water for cleaning, for my indoor water fountain, and to fill my humidifiers for the winter. Buying, hauling, and storing all of those jugs from the store was a chore, and when we stopped to think of all the plastic waste we were producing that didn't feel great either. We purchased this distiller and some glass gallon jugs for storage (Purchased from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ID5RXK8?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1) to begin distilling our own water. The glass jug that comes with the distiller needs to have it's handle attached when it arrives. Tip: put the lid on the container before you put on the handle so you can be sure you have the placement correct for an easy pour. Assembly was straight forward with no tools needed. The handle is sturdy, but I'd still always use two hands when handling due to the weight of the container (especially when full). You'll want to verify all the seals are in place before you perform your first cycle of distilling. If the seals aren't on right you'll end up with less water in the jug once the process is completed. You'll cycle through once and dispose of the first batch of water you make - this cleans out the machine and is recommended by the manufacturer. It takes ~4 hours to make a gallon of distilled water and the machine needs to cool down for ~20 minutes before you can open and refill (do not open before the machine has cooled down or you can be steam scalded). This means 2-3 gallons of water can be made easily in a day. Cleaning the machine is a breeze. The manufacturer provides a small bottle of citric acid and you simply add a little (maybe 2 Tbsp) and fill the machine with 1-2 inches of water. You then run the unit uncovered for ~15 min, usually less for me and the machine is descaled. Empty and wipe everything dry and you're good to store until the next use. The citric acid provided will get you through maybe 4-5 cleanings and you'll need to purchase more for further use (I've also purchased this in bulk through Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EYFKNL8?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5 or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRNY6FJB?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 depending on price). The cleaning process is very forgiving, I do not clean this unit after every run - I wait until the end of all the runs I make for a day to descale it. I've also made the big mistake of not setting a timer while cleaning and boiled the unit dry, creating a sticky burnt citric acid concoction - I simply started the cleaning process over again, with more attention to time, and the distiller came away sparkling clean. Some other items of note: - Make sure there is enough air flow around the unit, when I run this with the fan under my cupboards I have produced less distilled water then if I pull it all the way out. - Make sure the lid of the main unit is sealed well when you turn this on, again this can impact your output. - Lastly, this comes with several closure pieces (not to seal and store as they don't fit on snug they sit on top of the lid) for the gallon jug provided for collection. The setup image shows you should use one with a small opening during the distilling process - I have found this to create messes, leading water outside the container, and prefer to leave no addition closure on the lid between the distiller and the collection jug. So far I have not found excluding the cap to create any water loss from the collection jug. One criticism I have for this machine, or maybe just the process, is that I would like to distill directly into the jugs I store the water in - instead of pouring from the collection jug into the storage jug every time. The unit is not tall enough to accommodate any glass gallon jug I could find, and even if I raised the unit, the opening of the storage jugs would not lineup with the distiller. It would be really nice if I could buy multiple jugs to distill directly into with this machine and seal up for storage. In summary, I've had this unit for a month now and I've distilled approximately 51 gallons of water with ease. Overall this was very simple to use out of the box, it's been easy to clean, and I'm no longer hauling water around, storing an abundance of jugs between shopping trips or contributing to the plastic waste problem (at least with distilled water jugs). If this unit lasts it will be well worth the money spent!

I have used this for about two months, every day. Typically I run it 1-2 times a day. Love it so far. Read the directions, and everything should work perfect.

I purchased the unit because I have a CPAP and didn't want to lug around jugs from stores to home. Easy to set up, easy to use, and not loud. Totally worth the money.

Received December 10 2024. The steel 304 bottom, food grade steel, began to stain within first month and continued to become degraded until April 22 2025, when my sprout seeds failed to sprout using distilled water from the distiller. Also crock of sauerkraut fermenting turned to mush. I bought this last November, delivered December 10 2024. Shortest life of any distillers. All distillers made with 304 steel (food grade) may not last one year. Vendor ignoring request for replacement or refund. There listed email address returns mail as undeliverable. Would not buy from them again.

I have used more expensive water distillers of the same size and general look that have heated to a very high temperature such that when the water drips out of the spout it is very hot. This unit simply was warm to the touch on the outside container when dispensing the water - though the water drops coming out were cool, and not hot whatsoever.
